The spokesman of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF), Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has asserted that its operatives cannot arrest all criminal elements in the country at the same time.
Naturenex reports that Adejobi made the remarks while responding to an X user who shared a picture of suspected terrorists displaying bundles of naira notes suspected to be kidnapping ransom.
The X user wrote, “They are now posing with the ransom money. Showing that they are balling.”
Responding, Adejobi said, “We can’t apprehend all the criminals at once. At least, appreciate us for the ones we have arrested. We arrest them on a daily basis, in large numbers.
“The armed forces and the police are trying their best. Efforts of security forces should be seen, noticed, and appreciated. We need to look towards having the collective efforts and individualistic involvement in tackling insecurity and other vices in Nigeria.”
Police Clarifies Operation In NLC Building, Reveals Target
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has clarified that the raid at the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) secretariat had nothing to do with the NLC, its secretariat, staff, or leadership.
Naturenex reports that Police Force spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, made this known in a statement on Friday.
Adejobi said the operation was targeted at a suspected criminal traced to a shop in the Centre Business District of Abuja, which coincidentally was the NLC building.
The police boss also sought the cooperation and support of NLC leadership in the investigation of the raid at its secretariat.
